Students are rarely taught how money actually works, budgeting, saving, credit, so they learn the hard way as adults. Started young, the habits come easily.
What you can do at home
- Teach the 50/30/20 idea: needs, wants, and saving.
- Explain compound interest as a snowball. It is the most motivating money concept there is.
- Give real practice. A small allowance to budget teaches more than a lecture.
- Talk about credit early, before the first credit card teaches it the hard way.
